css


Netbeans’ help browser doesn’t react on font size settings (User Startup Settings ). This is an old issue which you can study here . Actually all to do is to override the default CSS settings in:
netbeans-6.0/ide8/docs/org/netbeans/modules/usersguide/ide.css
Download a workaround version ide.css.

I had to edit this file to fit my needs (on KDE, ubuntu):

body {
font-size: 15pt;
font-family:  Arial, Helvetica, SansSerif, sans-serif;
...

To see the changes you do not need to restart the IDE or something like that. Just go to another help page.

Netbeans 6.5

Here you the appropriate .css file is ide10/docs/org/netbeans/modules/usersguide/ide.css .

An example for a possible adaptation:

body  {font-size: 15pt;
	font-family: SansSerif, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	margin-left: 5;
	margin-right: 5;
	color: Black;
	background-color: White}
 
p  {font-size: 15pt;
     margin-top: 5;
     margin-bottom: 5}
 
....

Was playing arround with CSS. Especially with dynamic style settings like :hover. I  was naiv enough to use just a simple
<html><head> as a header for my experimental page. It made me wonder why Firefox 2 would not handle div:hover correctly, because Opera and Konquerer did. Finally changed the header to

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHMTL 1.0 Transitional//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”> <html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”>

… and now it works.
